Don't be dirty!

African Black Soap is imported from a Fair Trade Village in Africa that supports both women and children. The African Black Soap is made from Cocoa pods plus plantain peels, burnt to potash. This potash is added to water and boiled and all impurities filtered after boiling based on specific volumes. They then melt 45% Shea Butter, 30% Coconut Oil and 25% Palm Kernel Oil which is added to the filtered solution. The mixed content is then boiled, which becomes foamy and hardened. The hardened soap is scooped out and dried on platforms for extra solidification.

As African black soap is so powerful, it isn’t necessary to use a lot when washing your face. Too much of the soap can cause redness and dryness – a marble-sized piece of soap is perfect for your entire face and neck area.

When washing your face with African black soap, take the marble-sized piece of soap between your hands and rub them together to create a good lather. Then, apply this lather to your face. It’s recommended that you don’t rub the soap itself onto your face, as the grainy pieces of ash may irritate your skin.

Caution:

Be extra mindful of applying the soap around your eyes and nose. It’s best to rub gently without scrubbing, as these areas are home to thinner skin that is more easily irritated.

Persons with a caffeine allergy or sensitivity are advised to do a patch test on their skin before using African black soap, as the cocoa pods in the soap may cause irritation of their skin.

Using black soap everyday may be too much for skin to take due to its potency, so it’s recommended that you refrain from doing so. Using the soap 2-3 times a week may be best for your skin, and you’ll still see results!
